According to the reasons on the proclamation, the Knights should be national champions because they beat Memphis – a top 25 team – twice, they are undefeated and are the only Division 1 team to have a perfect record and they won their conference’s championship.

Oh, they beat Auburn, who beat both Georgia and Alabama in the regular season. So by the transitive property, they should be in the playoffs.

“NOW, THEREFORE, I, Rick Scott, Governor of the State of Florida, do hereby proclaim that the UCF Knights are this season’s best college football team and will be recognized as the 2017 College Football National Champions in Florida.”

There are others who think the UCF Knights should have had a spot in the College Football Playoffs. Twitter, of course, has something to say on both sides of the argument and some think the brackets should be expanded.

Perhaps to keep the season going, the winner of the Bama-Georgia game plays UCF.

Not hard to figure out. Bama and Georgia both lost to Auburn (badly). Georgia only beat them the second time because Johnson was injured. Auburn lost to UCF, which is the only undefeated team in Division 1 Football. Sit down, son. #MUTED
